The neuro just called and is leaning towards Tethered Cord(as are Rehab and Ortho) but want to do an EMG tomorrow to try to "prove" to the NS that it is Tethered Cord. An EMG is where they put a "needle like" probe into the muscle, send an electric pulse through it and see how the muscle and nerves respond. They will do this on her arms and legs. The idea being it will show the weakness in her lower extremities compared to the strength in her upper extremities.
So we will see Uro at 11:15,,,EMG at 1:30,,,Ortho at 4.
